30: Chapter 30 This man is pretty good too.

In the evening, the group found a town.

It was getting late.

The group decided not to travel any further.

They casually found an inn to stay at.

Under the pretext of saving money, Yuan Chen only booked three rooms.

Yuan Chen and Shui Monong shared one room, Lu Mingming had one room, and Zhao Yaya had one room.

"Scoundrel!"

Hua Tong cursed inwardly.

Saving money, my foot!

Could a Young Master like him really be short on money?

Wasn't he just plotting something wicked?

Hey, wait!

They all got rooms, what about me?

Thinking of this question, Hua Tong asked it directly.

Yuan Chen glanced at her and replied, "Wait a moment!"

He then took out a storage ring and began to rummage through it.

Hua Tong muttered.

"I asked why there is no room for me."

"What are you looking for in that storage ring?"

A few minutes later, a look of delight appeared on Yuan Chen's face.

"Found it!"

Then, under Hua Tong's gaze, a plant emitting white light appeared in Yuan Chen's hand.

The plant was about half the height of a person, its stem was pitch black, and at the top, there were flower buds resembling two trumpets.

Hua Tong inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

She looked at Yuan Chen warily, "What is this?"

Yuan Chen smiled at her.

"Black Vine Root!"

"What is it used for?"

"You'll know soon enough."

Yuan Chen smiled with ill intent.

Black Vine Root is a type of crafting Materials.

But it is also often used in Formation.

When a Sect builds a protective mountain Formation, they usually use it for detection arrays.

The characteristic of the Black Vine Root itself is that once it is disturbed by an external force, the bells on its top will automatically ring.

After being added to a Formation, if a cultivator of a certain strength sneaks in and triggers this aura, the Black Vine Root will immediately sound an alarm.

Pulling the rope, Yuan Chen arrived at his room door.

The Black Vine Root in his hand kept chiming.

After observing for a moment, Yuan Chen planted the Black Vine Root in the corner on the left side of the doorway.

The most perfect feature of the Black Vine Root is that its roots will stick to any solid object they touch.

At the other end of the rope, Hua Tong's sense of unease grew stronger, "What are you trying to do?"

The other three people had never seen such a plant, and they watched Yuan Chen's actions with curiosity.

Yuan Chen ignored her.

He tied the rope directly around the middle of the Black Vine Root.

He turned around and looked at Hua Tong with a smile.

"There!"

"Didn't you just ask where you were staying?"

"Right here!"

Hua Tong instantly lost her composure.

This is in the hallway!

Furthermore, looking at the rope tied to her hand, and then at the plant resembling a wooden stake at the other end, the image of a pug crouching at the front door in the mortal world appeared in her mind.

He really doesn't treat her as a human!

Gritting her teeth, she glared fiercely at Yuan Chen, "Yuan Chen, don't go too far!"

Yuan Chen said, "Isn't it normal for a maid to guard the door?"

"But whose maid has her hands tied up?"

"Isn't this because I'm worried about you running away?"

Hua Tong's shoulders trembled with anger.

I must endure, I must endure.

"Fine, you win. I, this Young Miss, have lost."

"That's right. Guard the door well for this Young Master."

After saying this, Yuan Chen put his arm around Shui Monong and returned to the room.

Zhao Yaya looked at Hua Tong with a helpless expression, then returned to her room.

The kind-hearted Lu Mingming was a bit different; seeing Hua Tong looking so pitiful, she stepped forward with concern.

She handed one of the two radishes in her hand to her.

"Do you want to eat?"

As she spoke, she took a sweet bite.

"I don't want to eat. Sister Mingming, can you ask your husband to let me off? At least let me sleep inside the room!"

Lu Mingming shook her head, "That won't do!"

"Then I won't eat!"

Hua Tong turned her head away.

There isn't a single good person in this family.

But as soon as she turned her head, she smelled a faint, fresh fragrance.

She twitched her nose.

Her head slowly moved, following the scent, and then her gaze landed on the radish in Lu Mingming's hand.

She swallowed her saliva.

"What are you eating?"

Lu Mingming tilted her head in a daze.

"Husband says it's called Jade Spirit Ginseng. It seems to be a Low Grade Spirit Medicine."

Hua Tong's pupils constricted. Oh my goodness.

A Low Grade Spirit Medicine! She had only eaten one once before.

She couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any more?"

Lu Mingming shook her head, "Just these two."

"Husband only gives me a few every day."

Hua Tong choked. Every day?!

What a rich scoundrel!

Seeing Hua Tong stunned, Lu Mingming asked again, "Do you want to eat?"

"Yes!"

Hua Tong replied without hesitation.

Only a fool wouldn't eat it.

"Here!"

Lu Mingming handed her one of the 'radishes', "Then I'll go back first."

"Go on, go on!"

Hua Tong nodded.

Her gaze remained fixed on the Jade Spirit Ginseng, not shifting in the slightest.

She was about to drool.

With her hands tied, she could only hold it carefully with both hands like a hamster, nibbling at it in small bites.

It took a full hour before she reluctantly swallowed the last bite.

After finishing, she once again felt dissatisfied with Yuan Chen for tying her up here.

As more guests arrived, people at the other end of the hallway would occasionally shift their gaze toward her.

Hua Tong's face burned, and she huffed, turning her body to the other side.

However, she hadn't been quiet for long before the sounds of panting came from inside the room.

Hua Tong clenched her fists tightly.

Why?

They were having fun inside, while she was guarding the door like a watchdog.

If I can't sleep well, don't think you can sleep well either.

Running away is impossible, but I can still annoy you.

Thinking of this, she shook her hands slightly.

Jingle, jingle.

The small bell at the other end instantly started ringing.

The movement inside the room stopped for a moment, but after just two seconds, it started again.

Hua Tong snorted coldly and continued to swing her hands.

Finally, a voice came from inside the room.

"Hua Tong, if you cause trouble again, believe it or not, I will come out and break your legs."

Hua Tong's expression stiffened. Damn it!

She had to bow her head under the eaves!

Just like that, Hua Tong stood for the whole night.

She thought it was over.

The next day, when Yuan Chen went out, he glanced at her and then kicked her in the butt.

"Ouch!"

Hua Tong screamed, her whole face plastered against the wall.

Yuan Chen stepped forward.

"Are you still going to be naughty?"

Hua Tong buried her face in the dent she had made in the wall.

She didn't answer.

Hmph! It didn't hurt at all.

Yuan Chen smiled.

"Come down and eat."

For the next few days, Hua Tong acted as Yuan Chen's doorman.

Watching Zhao Yaya, whose relationship with Yuan Chen and the others was getting better and better, Hua Tong felt a wave of bitterness.

Why was she the only one getting hurt?

She felt this sadness for half a month.

Until one night, when she saw Yuan Chen enter Zhao Yaya's room.

The next day, the two of them walked out happily, just like a young couple.

Hua Tong widened her eyes.

Had she fallen so quickly?

In the following days, she saw Zhao Yaya also holding and nibbling on a Low Grade Spirit Medicine from time to time.

Hua Tong licked her lips.

Her gaze followed the Spirit Medicine in Zhao Yaya's hand.

Actually... this Yuan Chen is also quite good, huh!

Humorous, handsome, and strong!
